As students, faculty, and staff return to campus life and community this fall, a new Student Resource Guide will identify the variety of services available across campus to keep students safe and supported.

Compiled by the Division of Student Affairs, the guide aims to assist students through their academic journey by featuring categorized links to resources like:

• Food Services (which now includes a kosher catering menu and daily halal, vegan, and gluten free options),
• wellness supports (including access to a Black student support co-ordinator, Jewish student support advisor, and Palestinian student support advisor), and
• career support services (including career advising and experiential learning programs).

It also links to several policies and protocols to help students organize campus life activities, including event planning protocols, demonstration guidelines, and more.

“As a community, we must remain committed to ensuring the safety and security of all students as we settle into our return to classes and campus life,” said associate vice-president of student affairs, Shetina Jones.

“Students, faculty, and staff play an important role in ensuring all students and visitors feel confident while on campus to learn and exchange ideas,” said Dr. Jones. “Our hope is that the Student Resource Guide becomes a helpful tool for the University community to reference throughout the year.”

Ghallia Hashem, president of the University of Windsor Students’ Alliance, said the guide is a vital tool that encourages students to thrive and excel in their academic journey and beyond. “The Student Resource Guide is an asset for navigating our campus resources effectively. As a student, I've personally benefitted from the comprehensive support it outlines, from academic help to wellness services.”

Jones noted that the guide will be updated regularly as policies and supports become available. For more information, visit the Office of Student Experience website. Faculty and staff are encouraged to visit the Human Resources website for information about policies and resources for employees.
